When I first saw it was beyond my comprehension, especially because of the lack of fluidity..It was like channel surfing..Weeks later I played it again and I began to connect the threads..This is not the Bible where the collective stories are not in chronological order, but everytime I read the collection I can put in order the stories and keeps me in it until I start to comprehend . ..I can always come into a movie and start in the middle and I can construct the time line so it all makes sense..The scope of the movie and the special effects keep me going...I might like the book better..Some books cannot be made into a movie..
